Bergson's role in the phenomenology movement based on Heidegger's interpretation

Phenomenology is one of the most important nowadays’ philosophical movements. Although Husserl is the founder, you can find its roots in philosophers’ works like Descartes, Kant, and Bergson. Heidegger Learned phenomenology from his professor and used it as a way to understand Being. Phenomenology for Heidegger transformed from Husserlian simple form to a way to understand the truth. Part of this transformation is because of Bergson's influence on Heidegger. In Heidegger’s opinion, Bergson, with bolding the importance of consciousness for understanding life, had a part in establishing Husserl’s phenomenology. By translating Bergson’s works into German, Max Scheler played a crucial role in gathering attention to Bergson's philosophy. This effort led to Husserl’s important work, the investigations of internal time consciousness, which are partly published in Husserl’s later works. Furthermore, Bergson, by making a difference between common time and real-time or ‘duration’ in understanding life, showed philosophy a new way of understanding truth. For Heidegger, phenomenology without understanding the concept of time, and centralization of Dasein as temporality, is not conceivable. The phenomenology is one of the most complex topics in the philosophy of the 20th century, and the simplest way to understand it is to pay attention to the formation of its roots. Considering that not enough research has been done on the influence of Bergson's philosophy on the phenomenological movement, this article tries to cover as much of this need as possible.
